about 95% of the soldiers,sailors & marines who served the TRUE CAUSE of dixie LIBERTY had GROSS ASSETS of LESS than TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($25.00) in 1861.

ours was a PEASANT REVOLT against the OPPRESSION by the northern industrial/social/monied elites, led by a HANDFUL of professionals like LEE, STUART,JACKSON, et.al.

our "barefooted, hungry lads in tattered gray rags" had NOTHING in excess except VALOR & DEDICATION. in the end, those things were not enough to overcome the northern leviathan.

Our chief weapon is VALOR...VALOR and DEDICATION...DEDICATION and VALOR.... Our two weapons are VALOR and DEDICATION...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are VALOR, DEDICATION, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as VALOR, DEDICATION,.... I'll come in again.

(yes, I am mocking you)

Well, that was only their condition before the war. After it started, they all got a gray uniform and a rifle.
